Thread: How can you argue with this answer?

We really are "spoilt" here.

I remember when I left school to go racing yachts we were in Thailand and a motorcyclist pulled up (well moped but hey!) and walked up to the bank doors. He was gunned down by security. Apparently it is illegal to enter still wearing your helmet. No freeze, no hands up, no capsicum spray just bang.

It annoys me when in the few incidents we have here each year that rellies abuse police after shooting someone (usually not fatal shots either). Having witnessed an event the police had been trying to get someone who was going nuts to drop a machette for about 20mins and he refused before he ran at an officer and was shot... in the shoulder. That night on the news the mother was going on about how he was a gentle person and never would have done anything and the police were the agressors and didn't give him a chance and they didn't need to shoot him. (OK this probably doesn't apply to the VIC police.... Bang... stop or I'll shoot!) seriously they do their best to disarm without force.

Lets hope we never get that way over here

A good answer.

As reported earlier this week, some dirtbag who got pulled over in a routine
traffic stop in Florida ended up 'executing' the deputy who stopped him The
deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range.
Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A statewide manhunt
ensued. The low-life was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT team
officers fired and hi t the guy 68 times.

Now here's the kicker:

Naturally, the media asked why they shot him 68 times. Polk County Sheriff
Grady Judd, told the Orlando Sentinel - 'That's all the bullets we had!!'

I hope they got the right Guy

Maybe the Police in Tasmania hadn't been issued with 68 rounds?
